Enable Push Notifications in a Salesforce Mobile SDK Hybrid App

(Android only) If your target platform is Android:
1. Add an entry for androidPushNotificationClientId. In assets/www/bootconfig.json:
  1"androidPushNotificationClientId": "33333344444"
  This value is the project number of the Google project that is authorized to send push notifications to an Android device.

In your callback for cordova.require("com.salesforce.plugin.oauth").getAuthCredentials(), add the following code:

1cordova.require("com.salesforce.util.push").registerPushNotificationHandler(
2    function(message) {
3        // add code to handle notifications
4    },
5    function(error) {
6        // add code to handle errors
7    }
8);

Example

This code demonstrates how you might handle messages. The server delivers the payload in message["payload"].

1function(message) {
2    var payload = message["payload"];
3    if (message["foreground"]) {
4        // Notification is received while the app is in 
5        // the foreground
6        // Do something appropriate with payload
7    }
8    if (!message["foreground"]) {
9        // Notification was received while the app was in 
10        // the background, and the notification was clicked, 
11        // bringing the app to the foreground
12        // Do something appropriate with payload
13    }
14}
